Judgment of the lower court
Seoul High Court Decision 66Na878 delivered on January 10, 1967, Seoul High Court Decision 66Na878 delivered on January 10, 1967
Text
The original judgment is reversed, and the case is remanded to the Seoul High Court.
Reasons
The defendant's attorney's grounds of appeal are examined.
According to the original judgment, the court below recognized the fact that small amount of KRW 3,00 per face value checks were altered at face value 120,000 by the bearers of the Plaintiff’s own name and omitted, and that the Bank employees of the Defendant bank paid KRW 120,00 from the Plaintiff’s current account without finding out that they were altered checks, due to the gross negligence of the Plaintiff’s bank members, and the Plaintiff paid KRW 120,000 to the Plaintiff. However, the court below held that the Defendant is liable to compensate the Plaintiff for the damages since it was caused by the Defendant’s employee’s negligence in the performance of duties, and therefore, it cannot be viewed that the Plaintiff’s claim against the Defendant was clearly based on what reasons the Plaintiff’s claim against the Defendant was made. Nevertheless, the court below did not err by misapprehending the original judgment as to what portion of the Defendant’s claim against the Defendant’s tort in the execution of duties, and thus, it did not err by misapprehending the Plaintiff’s right of compensation for the tort.
This decision is consistent with the opinions of the involved judges.
